THE FARMER’S CHANCE

VE VOTES. POWER AND THg OPPORTUNITY. If They are not Satisfied With Present Conditions They Have the Power to Change Them as They Will —Why Hesitate? Why don’t the farmers rule? Are they afraid? Are they ignorant, careless, feeble or foolish? They produce more than any other class of laborers. The nation could not live ten days without them. They cast more than half of all the votes of the nation. They are the best men physically, morally and mentally in the nation. They have an opportunity and the power to make theirs the most independent profession in the nation. They have power to control state legislatures and congress. They priy three fourths of the taxes, and have produced nine tenths of the wealth of the country-—yet they own but one fourth of the nation's wealth, and pour a constant stream of wealth into the coffers of the robber corporations and idle millionaires. They are poor and in debt from ex* cessive taxation to support extravagant expenditure of public money by dishonest. officials. The price of their products is depreciated by a system of contraction usury and extortion. Hoard of trade gamblerp and exhorbitant railroad rates, rob them of what they produce, and double the cost of what they c msume. The same agencies rob the factory laborers of what they produce and double the cost of bread.

A fair exchange and no middlemen would benefit both the producer of bread and the producer of clothes, giving both a better price for what they produce and reducing the cost of what they consume. Most of the farmers are blind partisans, and so are the wageworkers of the cities. They at'e trampled underfoot by the king's horses every four years, and get up to brush off the dust and join the parade that follows the king. Servile followers of the army of office hunters who shoot them down after election. Yet what might they be? If they would unite and vote together they could wipe monopoly oif the earth, and become free men, governing themselves. They could pass laws to secure enough legal tender government money to do business on a cash basis. If they needed to borrow money, they could pass laws giving them tho privilege oflborrowing on good security at as low a rate of interest as the bankers pay. They could control transportation so that all distribution would be made at actual cost, without paying dividends to any body but the government, which government being the whole people, would be for the benefit of aIL They could put honest men in office, who would work for the general welfare. They could pass a law giving the people a direct vote upon all important questions, and take the opportunity of tiaitorsto sell their votes to corporations, trusts and money lenders. They could abolish debt shaving and gold bondage. They could establish an American system of finance, without asking the consent of Europe. The could abolish landlordism aud alien ownership of American land. They could destroy the demand for soup houses, establish justice and provide homes for the homeless. They could insure domestic tranquility and restore peace. They could establish a union of the whole people and secure the blessings of liberty and freedom from debt slavery to themselves and their children. They could make congress a representative committee of the whole people, and the president chairman of the people's government. Theg could provide for the distribute of taxes in proportion to wealth, »°4 *ot aovvrding to ttwtort l*

They could provide for the ele«titifl of all officials by direct vote, and tttku the partisan patronage club out of the hands of dictatorial executives. They could punish rich thieves as well as poor ones. Thdy could secure a free ballot and a fair count. They could make the people judges of their own election and prevent a partisan congress refusing to seat representatives chosen by the people. They could provide for paying representatives for actual time spent in the service of the people and prevent fillibustering and salary grabbing. They could conduct the government honestly and economically, and prevent the passage of unjust laws giving special privileges to the money power They could make it an honor to represent the American people and not a chance to become a millionaire and live riotously at public expense. Thev could prevent the importation of paupers and criminals which poison the sources of government and drive American laborers out to steal or starve. They could enforce the provision of the constitution that “congress shall have power to coin money and regulate the value thereof.” without the intervention of private banking institutions. They could repeal all bad laws, enforce all good ones, and pass such new ones as are necessary for the general welfare. They could prevent the drawing of money from the treasury to create li panic, and to force the issue of b- nds They could prevent bribery by taking away the can - e. They could elect a man for president instead of a hog. They could abolish a useless and foolish military system. They could dispense with consular and einbassadorial assininity and ex-

travagance. They could stop the granting of lands to corporations, and give tinpeople an opportunity to use the land for agricultural purposes. In fact, there is no end ‘o the good thing., they could do if they would. If they are not satisfied wi h pres n '•onditious they have the power to change them if they will. Wendell Phillips# Prom the address by Win. Lloyd Garrison at the placing of the Phillips memorial tablet: We meet to-day to mark a spot, to put in place a tablet bearing an inscription. It will arrest the attention of generations after we are gone. It celebrates no famous deed; it commemorates a famous man. Famous not for actions which meet the multitude's acclaim, which wear a glamor, or win contemporaneous applause. During the forty yearß of quiet and secluded home life passed by Mendel 1 Phillips, notoriety rather than fame was his rj tribute, He was reviled by the community, abused by the press, unloved by the church# Wealth feared and shunned him. fashion knew him not, society had for him no welcome. At times mobs gathered about his door and violence threatened him. *****

Years are required to efface the burning memories which words, like those of Wendell Phillips aroused. The : embers arc still alive and res -ntments are easily awakened, but the ashes will soon be cold and judgments also. The rankling personalities, and personalities only rankle when they are barbed with truth—will fade in o the larger appreciation of loftiest motive. His own words will recur with convincing force: “I am talking of that absolute essence of things which lives in the sight of the Eternal and Infinite; not as men judge in the rotten m >rals of the nineteenth century among a herd of states which calls itself an empire because it raises cotton aud sells I slaves.” It is not gentle birth or native eloquence or local service that thU tablet celebrates, although these would be its sufficient justification. It is because ( be tried to spread over the continent the virtues that made Boston great; because he could cherisn high ideas when only base expediencies, claiming to be practical, dominated and oorJ rupted public thought. Voluntarily disfranchised for conscience's sake, he bore the scoffs of the little men who used the ballot to debase the state. Hie great concern was with the thought of men. In time thought ■ways the vote. They who would control Um mind by tb» machinery of pnUtiM mUtoHt ft* twneiait fp? tfcp

permanent, the effect for the cause. Wendell Phillips stood framed in nature like a granite rock. By him the shifting multitudes and sentiments passed and repassed, blown about by the breath of popular prejudice, or following subserviently the wake of Home ambitious political leader defiant of the moral law. lie knew that law to be unchangeable. The consequences of obedience to it he scorned to calculate. When men call one ••dreamer." “fanatic” or “doctrinaire,” it is because they can not controvert his reasoning. Phillips wore such epithets its badges of distinction. He needed no better certificate of character or ser vice. “When I die,” he said, “I wish but two words written on my tombstone—‘lnfidel’ and ‘Traitor’—infidel to a church which could be at peace in the presence of sin. traitor to a government that was a magnificent conspiracy against justice.”

THE 810 THIEVES ORGANIZED. Why Shouldn't Train Kubbera Incorporate for Mutual Protection? “In a recent issue you advised train robbers to incorporate. What do yon mean? Are you joking or are you serious?” The above inquiry reaches us tbi * week. In reply we beg to state that we did advocate incot\ nation of ‘‘train robbers.” We were not joking. L«t them incorporate to rob train t ju .t as Gould and Huntington incorporated to rob the people. Then when anyb >dy attempts to monkey with them call out the regular army. Occasionally, in order to stand in with the pious people, jrtit as Armou '. Carnegie and Rockefeller do,the Train Robbers’ trust (Limi ed) could build a church or endow a soup house. We are in dead earnest about this. Why not? One is as honorable as the other,and we would like to see the experiment tried.—Denver Road.

ALONG THE LINE. Thk elec.ion of Mcllride, president of the Federation of Labor, is anothi r step toward independent political action. And now it is stated that we are to iiave u tariff war with all Europe. But even that will not keep down the money questioh. VViNTKI* catches thousands of honest American laborers and helpless women and children exposed to the open air with empy stomachs. Mona bonds have been issued to palliate the bankers' rebellion than were issued to pay the expenses of putting down the war of secession. Thk labor unions do more for theit membtA's out of employment than the United btates does for its member* who are out of employment. Thk biggest railroad lobby that wai ever in Washington is there now—but not one of them has yjt been arrested tor stepping on the top dressing of the grass.

Lass than five per cent of thU country’s business is done with foreign ers—yet it is said we must a-k Europe about what kind of a financial systen we may have. As “a man is known nowadays b} the plan of currency reform that he proposes”—it is plainly shown tha' there are no men at all in the leader ship of the republican party. Tiie state treasury of Kentucky ha* suspended payment. It is now in orde f<r the people of that state to choos Populist management that will save million dollars in two years, as did th# Populist administration of Kansas. Do you think the bankers intend t do business for their health? Do yoi think they would expand the currency in times of emergency for the beneti of the people? Or don’t you rathe believe that they would further con tract for their own benefit? Thk gold reserve is again down U •84.000.000 and the bankers are stil ble> ding it. Another bond issue i imminent. All right, gentlemen, jus keep np that little game and the peo pie will repudiate the whole thing. It Is boasted by the big daily paper that the passage of the railroad pool lag bill in the house has stimulate the foreign demand for American rail road securitise.

KILLING A WILD CAT.

GREAT WILD CAT GHOST DANCE AND SIDE SHOW. The Scueroe to b* Rushed Through. While the Whole Ouag of Plntei Kn ter tela the People With a Ghost Dance. (Chicago Express.) The most infamous banking scheme ever proposed is now being considered in congress and it is a plan by which national banks are expected to supply the entire currency used in the buslness of the country. This currency is to be national bank notes and is to be guaranteed by the government. Preposterous as it may seem, the proposition which is being considered and.to which no banker nor old party editor has yet objected, is that these bankers shall deposit only thirty per cent of security with the government. Under our present national bank law a deposit of government bonds to the amount of 10 per cent more than their circulation is required. They deposit a bond with the United States treasurer and draw interest on it in gold every six months, and for every hundred thousand dollars so deposited are furnished ninety thousand dollar* of national bank notes guaranteed by the government. The government holds the bonds to make good the guarantee. Under the new plan the government will hold only 30 ceuts on every $1 of circulation Many of our readers will think this. In too absurd to be true. It is astounding that serious consideration bo given such a proposition, nevertheless such Is the case. Along with the bill as now presented, is coupled a scheme for state banks. This, along with some minor details, was insertd merely to provide a fighting ground. Old party newspapers are preparing for the fray. Not one word is said about the most Important and damnably infamoua features of the plan, but they are dancing around with their war paint swearing that they see a great, big, live wild oat. They write long editorials and make fiery speeches denouncing state banks, and with bated bieith declare that they see the gleam of a wild cat’s eye. Their intention is too plain. They will insist on eliminating everything about state banks and rush the Balti* more plan through with a whoop. We have killed the wild cat and saved the country, will be their cry, and there are thousands who will look no farther than to be fooled by their flimsy pretense. The Baltimore plan is the most complete and contemptible wild cat money scheme ever devised. No state bank proposition could be more infamous than the bankers’ association planned for the nationa' system. No banker In the country desires t state bank system, nor is it seriously considered in any quarter, but was pu< in the Carlisle bill merely to attract attention from the main issue. The palmiest days of wild cat stat« bank money never approached th# period of prosperity that will be nsh ered in by the new plan. Money will be plenty and it will lx good. It will be guaranteed by the govern ment and that will make it good.

The bank* will draw interest or every dollar of it and (midually abaorl every dollar produced in the country Interest is a never failing worker. T keeps up its pace night and day, ever} day In the week. It has no holidays nor periods of rest It eats continually. Every dollar that circulates will b# accumulating interest, for the nations barker. When the final wind up comes wha security has the government? For everv bank that fails the gov eminent must sell bonds to get gold to pa” off 70 per cent of the cumulation Only 30 per cem will be seepred bj a deposit with the treasurer of th United B'ates and the remn'n ler wil be ps id by the people. Criticism by the old party leaders i oon fined to minor and in most case unimportant details. The intention is that this nefarious scheme will be rushed through will the whole gang of pirates entertaii the people with a ghost dance over dead wild cat. swearing that they se the gleam of light in its eyes. One of the most patriotic utterance of Abraham Lincoln was that thos fellows down on Wall street “ought ti have their devilish heads shot off. But suoh talk as that nowadays * called anarchy.
